(1) at the request of a person who claims an ownership interest in such item; and
(2) to a defendant in a criminal proceeding involving such item. Provides that an item which ATF has determined is a firearm or ammunition shall not be admissible as evidence unless:
(1) ATF has complied with the requirements of this Act to make its digital video disc available; or
(2) such compliance has been waived in writing by the person against whom the item is offered as evidence.
